While the restoration of the hospital at Ellis Island is progressing, the restoration is obscuring certain elements. Some of this needs to be done, certainly the asbestos in the air would make this a no go zone for folks who aren’t wearing face masks. The Save Ellis Island folks commissioned street artist JR, to try to restore elements of the folks who worked there and the folks who were patients.
This nurses changing room was just down the way from the morgue and autoclave.
